extension cords. The trickle charge will not
recharge a low or dead battery but it will keep a
charged battery at maximum performance.

If you choose to separate the battery from the heater
by lengthening the cables you must make sure that the
cable wire used will carry the current to the heater.
For example, if the distance is 10 to 20 feet then 12
gauge wire must be used. Check with your local
electrical professional to make sure you have used the
proper gauge wire/cable.
CANADIAN REQUIREMENTS
If this unit is being installed in Canada, the following
additional requirements must be meant:
1. A chimney connector shall no pass through and attic
or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or a
floor, or ceiling.
2. Where a chimney passage through a wall, or partition
of combustible construction is desired, the installation
shall conform the CAN/CSA-B365.
3. Maintain an effective vapour barrier at the location
where the chimney or other component penetrates to
the exterior of the structure by sealing with high
temperature silicone.
4. Clearance to combustibles may only be reduced by
means approved by the regulatory authority.
COMBUSTION & VENTILATION AIR REQUIREMENTS
1. Store pellet fuels in a dry area away from unit. Do not
store fuels within the space heater installation
clearances or within the space required for charging
and ash removal.
2. Adequate ventilation air is required to operate this
heater. During operation the heater draws air for
combustion which can be assisted by the installation
of outside combustion air inlets. However, certain
weather conditions such as icing or use of kitchen
exhaust fans may impact and reduce the effectiveness
of vents. It is important to note that room air starvation
well negatively impact the operation of the heater.
7. If power outages with battery backup or room air
starvation occurs during operation of heater, smoke in
the house may result. This may trigger smoke
detectors if they are installed.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
CAUTION: MOVING PARTS MAY CAUSE INJURY, DO
NOT OPERATE WITH REAR COVER REMOVED.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
DISCONNECT ALL POWER BEFORE SERVICING.
ALWAYS TURN YOUR Heater OFF & LET IT COOL
BEFORE CLEANING.
Soot and Fly-ash: Formation and Need for Removal.
The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly-
ash. The fly-ash will collect in the exhaust venting system
and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete
combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or
incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some soot
formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system.
The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least
once every year to determine if cleaning is necessary.Your
EASYFIRE Pellet Heater requires routine maintenance for
maximum performance and is mandatory for the warranty to
remain in effect. The following procedures should be studied
carefully and performed regularly as indicated:
1. Fly Ash:
Some ash will accumulate in the heat
exchanger, firepot and flue and should be cleaned out
on a regular basis for best efficiency and safety. When
the heater is shut down and cold, you should:
a.
Open door and remove clean out slide cover. To
remove, simply slide up and out from retaining angle
bracket (
Figure 10
). Clean one side at a time. With
one slide cover removed, leave door open and turn
control knob to the
"CLEAN"
position. Let heater run
until ash in fire pot area is vacuumed out by heater
fan. Turn off and replace cover. Remove remaining
cover and repeat procedure for the other side. The
tee cap on the vent pipe should be cleaned out after
this procedure.
b.
Remove firepot by lifting up and out, it may be
brushed out or vacuumed. Firepot should be cleaned
daily. Make sure holes in pot are not clogged. The
area around and below the pot should be checked
every five or six days depending on how many hours
a day you are burning your heater and the quality of
the pellets being burned. (After a few days you will
be able to determine the frequency needed for clean
out.)
c.
Scrape pellet feed chute with putty knife to remove
hardened material on which sawdust can
accumulate.
